Chapter III
Kagome looked around and surveyed the crowd, noting that Sesshoumaru, Hiei, and Kurama were watching the race as well, instead of being in it.
Walking up to the three, Kagome smiled big. "Hiya! Why aren't you guys racing?" Hiei kept his steady glare and Sesshoumaru stood silently with his arms crossed. Seeing this, Kurama sighed at his friends.
"You see Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Hiei and I are mere observers today. We find out the weak points of the competitors." He pointed at the line of motorcycles lined up and ready to go.
Kagome looked at the competitors thoughtfully. "Would the fact that that Koga guy has 10 times better shocks, and boost packs filled full of NoS hooked to his bike, be anything to worry about?" Sesshoumaru's eyes widened slightly when he saw what she meant. "Isn't that against the rules?" Kagome asked meekly, continuing to look at the rest of the bikes.
Kurama quietly walked up to Miroku as discreetly as he was able to. "Miroku, Koga plans to cheat." A charming smile was all Kurama received in return before he walked back to the small group.
"He says he can handle it."
Hiei gave an undignified snort. "Like Miroku could handle something like this on his own." Kagome nodded her agreement.
"He burns water when trying to cook, and I can't say his racing will be much better."
Kurama couldn't help the smile that found its way to his lips, causing Hiei's glare to turn from the race to Kagome, who slid back next to Sesshoumaru.
The collector walked up next to Sesshoumaru and leaned close to his ear, whispering something Kagome couldn't hear, causing her to shift nervously.
"What's going on?" Kagome questioned, staring at the hand patting her on her shoulder.
"You're going to be the flag girl and start the race for your beloved boyfriend. Miroku insists on it." Kagome's jaw dropped and she was about to question if she had to, until she saw Sesshoumaru's 'no getting out of it' look.
Kagome stood in front of all the bikers participating in the race with a white handkerchief that Kurama had given to her for just that solid purpose.
Feeling antsy, she threw her stiff arm down quickly and froze as the racers sped by, blowing her hair every which way.
Taking a few steps, her legs seemed to melt and the ground was speeding towards her, had it not been for the pair of arms that suddenly caught her and the warm solid chest that was suddenly there, pressed firmly against her back.
"Relax, I've got you." These words that sounded like they came from Kurama, or maybe Sesshoumaru, plus the hot breath that tickled her ear, only accomplished in making her dizzier.
Next thing she knew, she was on the hood of a high priced car and a trench coat covering her completely and keeping her toasty warm.
Miroku had indeed won the race that night, lucky for him, because Kagome wouldn't have been to happy getting taken home by some stranger.

"Just lay her down on the couch over there." Miroku motioned over to the loveseat that posed as a couch in Kagome's living room, despite the many chairs.
Kurama sat Kagome's sleeping form down gently looking around himself. "You're sure she won't care if we stay here?" Kurama asked, eyeing a pile of textbooks, laptop, and a cat that was currently trying to use InuYasha's leg as a scratching post, despite his many attempts of shooing it away.
"Nah, I don't think she'll have a problem with it, she doesn't have much of a life anyways." Miroku held up a stack of report cards, only to have InuYasha snatch them away and look at each carefully.
"Holy shit, she's a straight A student."
Handing the stack to Sesshoumaru, whom gave an undignified snort. "Better than my grades ever were."
InuYasha pulled on Sesshoumaru's hair roughly. "Yeah, you always had two B's on your report card: History and Peer Tutoring!" Sesshoumaru twisted around and shoved his brother against the back of the couch, causing him to flip over it and land on the floor with a thud.
"No rough housing if you're going to stay here, I don't want anything broken." Kagome startled Kurama, Yusuke, and Miroku as she walked out from behind them in a pair of pajamas that were dark blue with a white sweater over, and a towel in her hands as she dried her hair. "Miroku, I need to speak to you in the kitchen, now." Looking around for a way out of talking to her, he realized that even Sesshoumaru and InuYasha had stopped fighting.
Kurama patted Miroku's shoulder, sympathizing with him, "Hiei, would you do the honors?" Kurama questioned as Hiei gave Miroku a kick in the ass, sending him close to the kitchen door, just to have Kagome shove him through it.
Miroku cowered on the floor in a fetal position, attempting to block his face with his arms. "Please, don't hurt me!"
Kagome stared at her cousin in confusion with her hand on her hip, "What are you talking about?"
Miroku looked through his arms slowly, "You mean you're not going to hit, kick, slap and hurt me?" Trying not to laugh, she shook her head, rubbing her temples, signaling a headache coming on. "Oh, so what'd you need?" Miroku asked standing up from the floor, as if nothing had just happened.
Sighing as she looked at her sore excuse of a cousin, she said "I need to go to the store for Ibuprofen and food if all of you are staying."
He patted Kagome knowingly on the shoulder. "Let me guess, you want either 1) some one to go get everything for you or 2) someone to go with you, right?" Giving a sly smile, Kagome nodded.
"Precisely."
Miroku walked out of the kitchen with Kagome following not far behind, a grin plastered to her face. "All right everyone, Kagome's going to the store, Sesshoumaru, you, InuYasha, and Hiei will be going with her; also keep in mind you have no choice."
Hiei looked about ready to disembowel Miroku, while InuYasha and Sesshoumaru glared heatedly at one another.
Glancing at her watch, Kagome slid on her shoes and jacket, and turned to Sesshoumaru, Hiei and InuYasha, motioning for them to hurry.
"We're leaving, get your shoes on and your jackets and let's go!"
Pushing around one another to get ready, Kagome almost laughed when InuYasha tripped and pulled Miroku's pants down around his ankles, causing him to trip and blush furiously.
YK: How's that for a chapter after me not updating in a long while? I will update more often, because I got my computer back! So any way's, Kurama is in the lead at 6 votes, everyone else no more than two at the most, if you pose a good argument on why Kagome should be paired with your person of choice out of the selected, I will put you down for two votes, and the voting will go for a while longer, I may even keep it going till its almost finished. Who knows, but let me know what you think!
Many thanks to my Beta's Kagome Yuki Niwa and Hiei'sAngel101!
